About the image:

Some
time ago I made a promise to myself to paint St Leonard’s Church in
Middleton, Manchester. I'd been meaning to paint its Wooden tower for
a long time. The Church dominated
my childhood, so it’s a personal perspective.. We learnt about it’s
history at school. It’s unique wooden clock tower on a medieval
church. The secret passageways
used during the reformation with tales of
ghosts still haunting them. Not quite the
pristine image of church people like to portray. In short everything
that could fire the imagination of a child.

I’ve
even been to family weddings there. It’s quite a traditional
subject matter but I’ve given it a new perspective.

All
copyrights are retained by the artist, and the artwork cannot be
reproduced without consent from Cathy Read.

The print is 29.7cm high by 21cm wide. The original image was created in England in 2015.

The image is
created with masking fluid before painting it with watercolour
wash covered with clingfilm. Once this is removed the picture is further
developed using acrylic inks which are left to dry before the masking
is removed to reveal the final picture.
